This morning I woke up and the the numeric part of the keyboard on the right hand side is not working. In fact the keys 7 8 9 do not respond anymore. All the others are ok. But the ones on top of the letters are all fine on the main keyboard.

Does anyone knows what could be wrong? Any tricks that I am not aware of?

Thanks for your insight.

Dave just to let you know that it did not work . Tho, the rest of the keyboard is working, I do not feel inclined to get a new keyboard because of this issue. It is really weird that it stopped just like that. I must say that I do keep the pad nice and clean at all times. But dust do get inside I am sure.

Anyway all good things come to an end

Thks for the tip
Cheers
PG

Hey Pegi

Probably the first thing I'd do is turn it upside down and give it a damned good shake to get rid of all the crumbs, etc.

Banging it softly on the desk also helps!

Further than that, is it an aluminium or plastic one?

Pegi, I went through 2 wired aluminum keyboards last year. The first one, the caps lock light stopped working. The second one had a stuffed key, it randomly started typing 'e' for no reason. So I finally replaced it with a Bluetooth keyboard, and haven't had any issues with that one.

Brian, would a Bluetooth keyboard work on my Mac? it is an older model 2.66GHz Intel core duo . I just inserted 4GB of Ram last year. and it is DDR2 RAM. I do have the latest version of IOS 10.73.

Also if I bought a Bluetooth keyboard, it has no side panel for number is that right?

My husband has one and it has no side panel with his keyboard and I do not like it that much. I prefer the side panel with the number I find them easier.
